KYOCERA AVX VLAS Automotive TransGuard® Varistors

KYOCERA AVX VLAS Automotive TransGuard® Varistors are multilayer varistors with a low clamping to working voltage ratio. These varistors are AEC-Q200 qualified and offer bi-directional ESD overvoltage protection and EMI/RFI attenuation in a single SMD package. The series exhibits low breakdown and provides enhanced protection for components with higher sensitivity to overvoltage. These varistors are available from 0603 to 1210 case sizes. Typical applications for KYOCERA AVX VLAS Automotive TransGuard Varistors include infotainment, ECU, displays, microcontrollers, and low VC to VW ratio requirements.
